Well, this is already getting to be contentious. How on earth can you speak of angels in hexadecimal or binary terms??? Angels have been balancing on the tip of a pin for billions of years. That's a fact. Obviously, they aren't too bright, but there ya go--they have a thing for pins.

This is an abject example of persecution. I start a simple thread asking for personal experiences of angel counting and hostile angry heathens barge in to disrupt. Go start your own thread and leave use sincere posters alone with our dignity.

Well dys-

I've never met one angel who could balance on a pin.

How can we learn harmony of the spheres?

I believe you are not taking my religious beliefs perfectly seriously and without question, which, given that any questioning of my religious beliefs is persocally insulting, means you have insulted me!

You beast.
